A garden light, or garden lights is something that all of us wish to have. Some of us who are lucky enough to have a garden, or at least a yard can have at least a couple that we like, while a number of us who live in apartments cannot do so.
There is nothing special in a garden light. Any light that you want to use in your garden becomes one. The most commonly found lights in the garden are the pole lanterns simply because they are the best looking of the lot. You get them separately or as a unit with the pole. The height differs and you can get short knee height ones or you can get much bigger above head height ones.
Obviously it is going to cost you quite a bit to get them installed. First comes the cost of the lights that you are going to get in and then comes the installation plus some of them actually require that you embed them in concrete. Last comes the wiring and this is even more of a headache if you want to conceal it. But at the end of it all, you will have something that you can be really proud of. Imagine having lights in a row along the hedges around your garden, or having a few lamps dotting different places in the garden next to benches where you can sit.
You don’t have to get a landscaper to come and do your garden, you just make use of what you have and install lights so that they look nice. Even a simple log placed on the ground will look really amazing if you put in a tiki light next to it. If you have wrought iron Victorian style garden chairs and table, you could go with a high post lantern that sways gently in the breeze.
If you have an alcove somewhere in your garden, putting knee height pathway lights along the periphery if it is round, or in the four corners if it is not, will give it an enchanting look. Even a simple arch created with bougainvilleas will look like an arbor when you place a light strategically close to it. It should be close enough to bring out the color of the flowers, but far enough away to give those who want privacy there.
Everyone will have some idea of what they want to do, but the only problem is the expense. Even if they can get the lamps, the installation costs will very often be more than the cost of the lights, and most people will drop it because of this. The good news is that there are solar powered garden lights that are available and all they require is that you keep them where they get sunlight throughout the day. They are also not too expensive and cost just about the same as any other similar garden light. The convenience of these things is really tremendous and even the pathway lights require that you just plant them in the ground; no concrete or anything.
The advantage of using solar garden lights is that you can pretty much calculate the cost only based on the price for the materials. There is no installation cost to speak of and as long as you are ok with the cost of the light, that is all you have to think of. You even get fountains and bird baths that are solar powered, and they also come lit in different colors. The quality of the piece depends on the amount of money that you pay for it. The cheaper ones will work just as well, but will have cheaper quality plastic which looks tacky.
The best thing to do therefore is to go online and look up different pictures of garden lights. You will find pictures that people have posted and some of them are really quite imaginative. This will give you an idea of what to do with your garden after which you can decide whether you want to go with the solar ones or the normal ones.
